The Imperial Prison was known as the most terrifying place in the Ming Dynasty.
It is dark all year round, and blood and violence are the permanent theme here. The cell is dark, damp, and extremely stinky.
The prisoners in custody were all former dignitaries.
But now, these once high-ranking people have all been beaten to a bloody pulp, or even directly disabled.
Some people's hair was disheveled, and there was a foul smell all over their bodies. Their legs were broken, and their bones were exposed. The flesh and blood attached to them had turned pus, and maggots could even be seen squirming inside.
And some people were even more miserable, with their breasts exposed, and their ribs all over their bodies were scarred as if they had been cut by sharp weapons.
This is the famous Jin Yiwei torture, playing the pipa.
The knife is used on the prisoner's ribs and rubbed continuously in order to make the prisoner experience the feeling of life being worse than death.
Very few people can survive three rounds, because after three rounds, the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow will make people die from the pain.
This is the Ming Dynasty Prison, a dark place full of dead or dying prisoners.
But since Li Jin arrived, a beam of light seemed to shine into the prison here.
I saw that in the originally dirty prison, a clean and tidy room was actually cleared out. It didn't look like a prison cell, but an inn.
Not only that, Li Jin lived in a single room and was served three meals a day with good wine and meat. He didn't look like a prisoner at all.
Of course, Li Jin paid for all these fine wines and meats and asked Jin Yiwei to buy them for him.
After all, having money not only makes the devil push the mill, but also makes the mill push the ghost.
Coupled with the care of Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, no one dared to mess with Li Jin in the imperial prison.
However, for such a God of Wealth, no one would come to make Li Jin uncomfortable. On the contrary, everyone liked to say hello to Li Jin.
Not for anything else, just because Li Jin gave too much.
It has been a month since Li Jin entered the imperial edict, but within this month, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Li Jin, and no one cared about him at all.
Not only did the emperor not send anyone to interrogate him, but even the Jin Yiwei kept silent about his affairs.
This made Li Jin really puzzled as to whether he was dead or alive, but Lao Zhu had given him a sure idea. It was making him extremely uncomfortable now that he was neither up to nor down.
Just when Li Jin was lying in prison with good food and drink, Li Jin's old acquaintance Mr. Huang appeared in prison again.
Li Jin was naturally very happy when he saw his old acquaintance visiting him. He immediately asked the Jin Yiwei to prepare wine and food for him. He wanted to entertain his old acquaintance in the prison.
Mr. Huang is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ever since he imprisoned Li Jin in imperial prison, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately ignored Li Jin and wanted to make Li Jin suffer in the imperial prison.
As for wanting to kill Li Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have this idea.
However, after carefully analyzing Li Jin's performance on the Japanese island, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Li Jin had no idea of rebellion at all.
Among Li Jin's various actions, Zhu Yuanzhang only saw that Li Jin had a mortal hatred for the Japanese.
Even the purpose of this Japanese attack on the Japanese island, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Jin just wanted to take revenge on the Japanese island, so he organized a so-called East India Company.
Then in the name of the royal family, they carried out brutal conquests and killings on the Japanese islands.
But does Zhu Yuanzhang care about these?
the answer is negative.
Zhu Yuanzhang only cares about the people of his own Ming Dynasty. What kind of people are these Japanese people on the Japanese islands?
At most, they are livestock for the Ming Dynasty in the future, and they are not even as good as livestock. They can only make cattle and horses for the Ming Dynasty people, and they have been slaves for generations.
Therefore, one month after Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned Li Jin in imperial prison, most of his anger had disappeared.
He came to the prison just to see Li Jin's miserable condition, and then consider whether to pardon Li Jin tomorrow.
Let Li Jin return to Songjiang Prefecture, be a good prefect, and continue to work hard for the Ming Dynasty and shine.
After all, Li Jin had been away from Shanghu County for too long, and there had been a lack of official management for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang was really afraid that something would happen in Shanghu County.
Nowadays, Ming Dynasty’s sea-going pattern has basically been formed.
Shanghu County will serve as the largest port base, responsible for bringing items within the Ming Dynasty to Shanghu County, and then going out to sea for ocean trade.
Noengjufu will serve as a port base for North Korea and Wado, and will be responsible for exporting goods from the north.
Two places, one in the south and one in the north, will conduct overseas trade on the Korean islands and all East Asian coastal areas.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to set up a shipping department like the Song Dynasty and prepare to officially open the sea.
Of course, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion was the most beautiful place, with the tiger on the dragon's side, so it was naturally the most important.
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to build the highway from Yingtian City to Dengzhou City.
In this way, Yingtian on land can be completely connected to Shanghu County and Dengzhou City.
On the sea road, Dengzhou City and Shanghu County communicate with each other. It can be said that this layout is very reasonable and will suppress East Asian countries for hundreds of years in the future.
As a core part of Shanghu County, naturally nothing can happen to it.
It was time for Li Jin to be released, but before he was released, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to vent his anger.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang came to the imperial prison, he was originally in the mood to watch a good show. When he saw Li Jin, who was alive, intact, and even gained a few pounds, he was dumbfounded.
